a mess - to remedy this situation, he suggested that each district should have representa- tionoatheUnitBoardofTrus- tees and a general meeting should he held each year so that certain recommendations from the rate- payers could be made to this trustee. Mr. MacRae said that tax were about as high as they

Union Road district. which has been absorbed in the East Roy- alty districi, was heard. Mr. Al- bert Holmes said that he didn't want to see Union Road left out in the cold. Mr. Holmes is the driver of the school bus in his area, which transports 28 chil- dren to school. Mr. Wallace An- drew of East Royalty said that he was satisfied with the exist- ing unit but objected to the man- ner in which people had been pushed into it against their will.

wmsnor: has DTFFICULTIES

The high taxes which people have to pay in Winsloe area was a common complaint among those who appeared before the commis- sion. The story was told by several. that a local contractor had made a bid of 517.000 for constructing the new building and his tender had been ignored and given to a Charlottetown firm on a cost-plus basis at a resultant cost of 534,000. Mr. Fred Stewart of Winsloe was named as the contractor who tendered unsuc- cessfully on the school.

There was a difference of opin- ion as to the value of the school uus. nomc stated that it .was not serving all the children who need- ed it while others averred that children depending upon the bus .or transportation had shown a higher average attendance than other children. Mr. Lloyd Jenkins, one of the trustees of the district at lhe time of union. said that they had been promised a 22- passenger bus but ended up by getting a three quarter ton panel truck. Mrs. Perley Taylor felt it would be a step backward to break up the Unit. Speaking as the President of Highfield Wo- men's Institute. she said that the ratepayers were being kept in the dark regarding expenditure and felt that a better interest could be maintained in the district if they had a representative to whom recommendations could be made. Others who spoke briefly

OBJECT TO HIGH SCHOOL

None of the witnesses who ap- peared before the commission yesterday were in favor of s new high school which had been pro- posed as a means to relieve the overcrowding in some of the dis- tricts. Ratepayeu from Central Royalty who attended the hear- ing ia the morning all expressed disapproval of the move aven though the school would, if it were erected. he built in that area. Mr. Cecil Wood of Central Roy- alty complained of the inequality of taxation. stating that the far- mer was taking "the heavy and of tho stick." He took exception to the coat of building the new school houses at Central Royalty which, in his opinion. was an- reasiva. Mr. Major Macltaalsaid that the Department of Education must have felt that the Unit had some merits and thought that it should ba tried out for another while. to see how it would work out. He felt that the chief objec- tion among the people was the fact that they did not have any say h the formation of it and no voice is any expenditures that were to be made. Mr. Macnae said he had no complaint against the present rate of taxes but if an addltlonaladxpehditure ia the vicinity of 3150.000 is to be made. many would find it hard to pay. Mr. Ernest Reid said that the main objectives in forming a school unit were for two chief reasons: (it better educational facilities and (1) reduced expen- ditures. He agreed that the first had been achieved but said that the people were much worse off financially than before. As an in- stance he referred to the matter of transportation. noting that in the Union Road district this item was costing 81.500 a year when the actual revenue from there was perhaps less than that amount. '

SCHOOL PIIDI MISSING

Mr. Reid laid strong emphasis on the fact. that school pride was missing in the districts of the Unit. He recalled that only a few years ago. Central Royalty had won the Lt.-Governor's shield for

Long before seven o'clock last evening and from that time until after eleven o'clock residen of Charlottetown and many of the surrounding districts moved in tremendous line-ups to await their turns to donate their blood at the concluding session of Charlotte- townla Centennial Blood Donor Clinics stacked up a total regist- ration of almost 600 for the day. to exceed the objective of 1000. The Mobile Team from the Red Cross Maritime Blood Transfusion Depot at Halifax stated last night that never before had they collected as many battles of blood in a four- day period. The total for the four days almost reached the 1700 ob- jective set.

pared to assume part of the cost."

Mr. George Ayres said that he had been a resident of Central Royalty for the past eight years. He was in favor of holding the Unit together because of the im- proved educational facilities which he said were reflected in the progress of the pupils.

Mr. Ayres said he could see the advantage of a high school in that it would give a broader type of education but felt that transportation would pose quite a problem. He suggested that if such a high school were built that it would be so situated so that no pupil would have to go more than one and a half miles from it. Mr. Ayres agreed that farmers were not getting a good deal in taxes and felt that some other means by which people who were able and in a good many cases willing to pay more could be reached. He concluded by saying that a great deal of the existing dissatisfaction could have been avoided if the proposition had not been dumped in the laps of the people without first having given it some consideration. Mr. John Richards spoke brielly during which he expressed satisfaction with the unit.

The Charlottetown Branch of the Canadian Red Cross Society. under whose sponsorship the clinics were held outnumbered all other organ- izations in the competition for the highest number of donors in at- Iendance during the two days. 10061- co-operation was received on all sides but particularly from the F ” Legion who gave the Clover Club and all its facilities to the Red Cross free of any charge for the clinics and had many of its members on hand to help. The Ladies Auxiliary of the Canadian Legion played an outstanding part in supplying all the refreshments and the workers to look after this end of the clinic.
